The real test in the base hall game at St. Louls yesterday between Washington and the Browns was the ability of Messrs. Breitenstein end Mercer to pitch. Mr. Breitenstein pitched. Evidently Mr. Mer- cer did not. For five innings the game had the ap- pearance of base ball. The score was one to one, and the spectators entertained thoughts of the necessity of extra innings again. Like an earthquake, however, the scene was shifted in the sixth. Seven hits, with a total of six runs, removed all doubt as to the winner. Washington's only run occurred in the first. Lush struck out, but O'Brien singled and took second on an error. Selbach’s grounder was fumbled, and O’Brien scored on Joyce's out. De Montrevillle did the best stick work for Washington, and Lush end Selbach made the only errors. ST. LOUIS. , ° WASHINGTON. R.H.0.A. R-H.O.A.K.

Wild Scenes at Cincinnati. The game at Cincinnati with the Brook- lyns was the most exciting for many a day, and when the Reds scored the winning run in the ninth the wildest scene ever present- ed within the Cincinnati inclosure was wit- nessed. At the beginning of the eighth in- ning the score was four to one tn favor of the Bridegrooms, but Ewing’s braves man- ‘aged to catch up, and in the ninth forged to the front.

Their third meeting will take place this after- noon at National Park, and the outcome of the game will be watched with interest by the rooters of both teams. Each team will have out the strongest combination poss!- ble, and Gleeson will probably be pitted against Fitzgerald in the box. The rest of the team on each side will be made up as usual, with Havens of the Government Printing Office playing in right fleld for the Infantry. The game will be called at 4:45 and ladies will be admitted free. Notes. This is an off day for Washington. At Chicago tomorrow. King will probably pitch. The victories over Boston so pleased Von der Ahe that he remitted Myers’ fine of $100. Pitcher Lucid, recently released by the Phiiadelphias, 1s now a reporter on one of the Chicago dailies. Hughey Jennings of the Baltimores ts pushing Jesse Burkeit of the Clevelands for the batting honors of the league.—_New York Advertiser. Horton, the young western pitcher, who has been signed by Pittsburg, started for that city six days ago, but cannot be found, and Mack is worried. A New York crook broke into the office of the Cincinnati base ball ground and stole some office furniture. He refused to give his name, and the clerk of the court, whe is a ball fan, entered him on the docket as Andrew Freedman. A dispatch from Scrarton says: “Outcalt is one of the finds of the season. He han- dles the delivery of of the pitchers equally well and thr to bases like a rifle shot. This 1s one of the Toledo con- tingent which Pittsburg claimed last fail. Outcalt caught Hughey. National Golf Tournament. Fully 500 persons were present at the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club's grounds yes- terday, when the second annual meeting of the United States Golf Association was opened.

Bid- dle, Dr. Charles Claxton, Charles Bollen, G. 3. Newhall and William M. McCawley, Philadelphia; Henry May, Washington, D. C.; C. A. Murphy and L. P. Bayard, jr., Bal- timore, and H. J. Whigham, Chicago. The score yesterday was counted by strokes, but henceforth In the contest for champion- ships it will be the hole play. The follow- ing qualified for the event: H. J. Whigham, Onwensia, Chicago, 163; A. M. Coa Newport, 168; H. P. Toler, Balustrol, J. A. Tyng, Morris county, 170; L. Waterbury, Newport, 173; J. @. Thorpe, Cambridge, 174; A.

Tennis. Perfect tennis weather favored the open- ing of the Canadian lawn tennis champton- ship, which began yesterday on the Niagara courts. One of the chief features of the week will be the event in ladies’ singles and mixed doubles, in which both Miss Bessie Moore, champion of the United States, and Mrs. Stdney Smith, champion of Canada, will compete. E. P. Fischer, the New York crack, gave @ pretty exhibition in his match with Davis of West Point, whom he defeated by a score of 64, 6-4. Pittman of Harvard and Paret, the south- ern champion, were among the other suc- cessful players yesterday afternoon. Today Paret will be pitted against Bob Wrenn, ex-champion of the United States, who is considered the most formidable man of the meeting. Score: Men's singles, preliminary round—A. P. Hawes, Boston, beat D. F. Davis, St. Louis, GH, 3-4, 6-4; E. P. Fischer, New York, beat R. P. Davis, West Point, 6—4, 64; W. A. Bethel, West Point, beat J: G. Lay, Ottawa, 6—0, 6—3; M. D.

Tull yesterday at 8:30 o'clock in a rain storm at Portsmouth, Va., a Gistance of 200 miles. Although rain con- tinued until 11:20 o'clock, the bird reached home at 1:45 o’olock, covering the distance 4n five hours and fifteen minutes. The aver- age speed was 1,118 yards a minute. WHEELMEN’S’ PARADE Streets Crowded to Witness the Lan- VEL MANY NOVEL COSTUMES SHOWN Prizes Awarded, dy the Judges to Clubs and Individuals. —_-———_.. ORGANIZATIONS IN LINE > ‘The bicycle parade, under the: auspices of the L. A. W., attracted to Pennsylvania avenue and to other ‘points along the route lest evening scores of thousands of spec- tetors. Tho greatest crowd assembled on Pennsylvania averue between the treasury and the Capitol, where, ft is estimated, fully 100,000’ people were congregated. ‘The display of novel costumes and of the line of dancing lantern lights along the ayenue was attractive, in spite of various circumstances which contributed to detract from the success of the parade as a street spectacle. The throngs on the street crowded so close upon the wheelmen that, in most places, only a narrow passage was left for the line to pass through. At some points, in fact, the wheelmen had almost tc fight their way. There was criticism of the police for failing to keep the avenue clear, but it 1s doubtful whether a thou- sand police officers would have been equal to. that task, So many were the discourage- ments met by the wheelmen that the line which started, perhaps 1,500 or 2,000 strong, gradually dwindled away, the riders drop- ping out singly and in squads. Few of the Wheelmen went over the whole route. Although a line of mounted policemen preceded the march and temporarily clear- ed away the crowd surged in toward the wheelmen after their passage and blocked the line of the paraders, making It only pesstble for two to ride abreast, while in many cases, where the decorations extend- ed out from a man’s wheel, only one man could ride in line. Still a majority of the riders stuck to their werk until after they had gone over the main portion of the route. The Parade. Chief Consul W. . Robertson of the League of American Wheelmen led the pa- rade as chief marshal. Immediately after him came the Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps, mounted on wheels, thirty strong. Follow- ing came Capt. S. H. Wiggin of the Miles Cycle Infantry, with twenty-one men, all uniformed and equipped. Capt. Hodgson fellowed with the balance of the National Guard in uniform in the parade. After this military escort came the local division of the League of American Wheelmen, with Secretary-treasurer Ctarles E. Wood at the head and seventy riders following. The feature of this section was the appearance of a young lady in white silk bloomers. The cycling contingent of the Columbia Athletic Club, with ninety-seven men, came next, with J. Hart Brittain leading. Next came a troop of 160 riders, a majority of whom were colored. The decorations of this division, while not elaborate, were attractive. re The third division, representing the clubs, wes perhaps the most attractive of the lot. The Arlington Wheelmen led, dressed in white trousers, dark coats and white caps, with twenty-eight men in line. Their end was brought up by a pretty float, on wheels, drawn by two tandems. The center attracHom of the float was a young man on a Slcyéle, riding as though on a home-trainaz, The Altair Wheelmen came next, dressed in club uniform, with Capt. F. Baker Weaver leading. Transpar- encies brought up the end of the club col- umn. The Washi#gton Road Club, under Dr. W. W. Hodgea and A. W. Leek, turned out forty-five men nd three tandems. The decorations of the club were pretty, and while not upiform, produced a good effect. ‘As a club, the Queer Wheelmen made the best showing in the line. With twenty-one members, all dressed in clown suits of bunt- ing and peak-top hats, they looked well. The Columbia Heights Wheelmen, under Capt. Scharf, with twenty-five cyclists, car- ried a transparency, and had some good characters in line. The Liberty Wheelmen, under Lieut. C. E. Ingling, were represent- ed by twenty-five men. The Woodbury Club had a pretty turnout. Nineteen riders were dressed as gentlemen, in dress suits end beaver hats, while six men closing the line were dressed in rags and tatters. ‘A transparency at the head of the column announced the fact of the lower five and the upper ten. The Mayflower Club and the American Wheelmen were represented by twenty-nine men in all. The Chain and Sprocket Club brought out twenty-five men, and the decorations were very pretty. Under Captain Shilling, the Morton Ca- dets turned out thirty-three men, dressed in their cadet uniform. The letter carriers were represented by fifteen cyclists, follow- ed by a mixed up crowd of fifteen riders. The Postal telegraph boys turned out thir- ty-five strong, and looked well. The Christian Endeavor turn-out was not near as large as was expected. There were 115 riders in line, under Capt. John Muir. Some of the indiyidual decorations were elaborate and pretty. One individual with a Japanese parasol, fully six feet in diam- eter, had & good deal of trouble in getting along. Others had their wheels decorated in floral designs, with the initials C.E. worked in unique manner. The members of this contingent carried C.E. flags. Following these came forty unattached riders, and tre decorations of these were of the highest order. Harry Parks had an imitation of Jonah and the whale, the mouth of the leviathan openirg at every downward stroke of the pedal. There was also a boat rigged up on a wheel, with sails full set, looking quite pretty. There were a number of other equally as geed designs In this list. The White Flyers, as a group, were fine. There were thirteen men in line, headed by a tandem, with two men representing a large swan. The other riders in the group were costumed so as to appear like swans with wings spread. ‘The riders of Southeast Washington also made a splendid showing. They were head- ed by a character representing the intendant of the work house, with the members of the chain gang fol- lowing, dressed in the striped suits, each having on his back a placard telling his crime and sentence. Most of the offenses charged were violations of the new police regulations on cycling. On account of the large crowd surround- ing the reviewing stand at Franklin statue the judges had some difficulty in award:ng the prizes, but their decision was announc- ed as follows: For the lady rider making the best ap- pearance, a prize offered by Lansburgh & Bro., Miss Herbert. For the lady making the second best ap- pearance, a prize offered by Woodward & Lothrop, Miss Reiqhart. For the gentleman rider making the best appearance, a bicycle sult, offered by Loeb & Hirsh, No. 23. > <= For the gentleman rider making the sec- ond best appearance, a,sweater, offered by B. H.

Marshal Robertson stated this afternoon that the names of the winners designated by numbers have not yet been learned, and x THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. will not be until the division marshals sub- mit their reports. Marshal Robertson also stated that as not a sufficient number of ladies competed to win all the prizes, an effort will be made to award those remain- ing on hand to male riders. The judges were Col. Heywood of the United States marine corps, Commissioner John W. Ress and District Attorney Ar- thur A. Birney. Postmaster General Wi sen, who had accepted an invitation to serve on the board, found it impossible to attend. These judges were stationed at 10th street and Pennsylvania avenue, and determined upon the merits of the contest- ing clubs. Dr. J. Bartlett Hills, Dr. W. T. Morsell and Mr. W. A. Allen, judged the individua! and group contestants. The trio were mounted on wheels, and followed along with those anxious to win prizes. On the judges’ stand at 10th street and Pennsylvania avenue were President Clark of the Christian Endeavor Union and Mrs. Clark, Secretary Baer and Mrs. Baer, Mrs. Heywood, Mrs. Randolph, Mrs. Surgall and Mrs. and Miss Birney. GLENCAIRN WON AGAIN. Race for Half-Raters Taken by the Canadian. The result of the second day’s racing in the series of the Glercairn of the Royal St. Lawrence Club and El Heirie for the silver challenge cup offered by the Seawanhaka- Corinthian Club for half-raters, was an- other victory for the Canadian, and a demonstration that she is superior to her rivals in point of sailing. The difference in time between the two yachts at the end of each leg of the course was as follows: First leg, 5m. 9s.; second leg, 2m. 36s. third leg, 2m. 28s.; fourth leg, 2m. 1 fifth leg, 2m. 30s.; sixth leg, 6m. 228. Today's race will be sailed over the wind- ward or leeward and return course, and if there is sufficient wind to finish the race within the time limit Glencairn, it Is be- leved by yachtsmen who have been watch- ing the boats, will take the trophy home. VALKYRIE SAILS AWAY. The Cap Challenger Departs for the Other Side. NEW YORK, July 15.—Val’cyrie III, the cup challenger of the Earl of Dunraven, which was defeated for the America cup by the American yacht Defender last year, and which since that time has been at anchor in Erle basin, started on her home- ward journey ioday. It 1s hoped to bring her into the Clyde by August 5. Just what Lord Dunraven intends doing with the unsuccessful competitor in the in- ternational races of last year is not known, but ft is thought Dunraven will have the boat overhauled and put into racing trim and try to lower the colora of the German emperor's yacht Meteor, which has been successful of late in English waters. ———__ PRESS ASSOCIATION.

At the Annual Meeting Nearly 300,000 Circulation Represented. ‘The regular annual meeting of the Chris- tian Endeavor Press Association of Amer- ica was held Saturday afternoon at the Washington headquarters, in Droop & Sons’ music store. A goud representation was present. The following officers were elected: President, E. F. Fleragin, Chri: tian Endeavorer, Chicago; secretary, E. 3. Thompson, Michigan Endeavorer, South Haven, Mich.; treasurer, A. L. Alden, In- land, St. Louis, Mo.; vice president (north), Miss Mattie E. Poteler, Lookout, Cincin- nat, Ohio; vice president (south), Miss Neil, Good News, De Lavel, Fla.; vice president (cast), F. W. Lunel, Nashua, N. H.; vice president (west), Harry M. McKee, Pacific Coast Endeavorer, San Francise Amendments to the constitution were adopted Increasing the membership fee to $1 per year, and confining membership to strictly Christian Endeavor papers. A special committee, consisting of the president and secretary, was appointed to confer with all the members of the as- sociation for a joint plan of co-operation in advertising arrangements, and the com- mittee was given power to act. It was al- so decided to issue a monthly bulletin on the Christian Endeavor movement, and also giving items of news and methods of work. Resolutions were adopted condemning the practice of allowing Christian Endeavor news to be published in Sunday papers. The association began in a small way at Cleveland, '94, and each year, it is thought, the work has more fully demonstrated the fact that its existence was demanded. Mu- tual iaterest and financial success of state papers are the fundamental principles that brought it into existen JOHN HAYS HAMMOND’S PLANS. In About Six Weeks He Will Come to America, John Hays Hammond, the American min- ing engineer, whose connection with the Johannesburg reform committee brought upon him sentence of death, but who was pardoned by President Kruger, is in Lon- don, and has been interviewed by a London newspaper correspondent. It is his inten- tion to remain in London for about six weeks, and then to visit America, with his wife. He will return to England and settle in London to take charge of the gold fields company’s business. “I shall try,” said Mr, Hammond, “to divert English capital to the United States.” Being questioned on the subject of the Jo- hannesburg raid, Mr. Hammond said: “I shall not testify at the trial of Dr. Jameson unless Jameson should make the statement that it was the wish of the peo- ple of Johannesburg that he should come to rescue them. We of the reform commit- tee repeatedly told Dr. Jameson not to make the experiment, as the reform move- ment did not want him. But I must decline to discuss the political situation in South Africa.” Mr. Hammond continued: “I de- sire, however, to thank my friends in the United States for their kindness during the period of my imprisonment. I have had let- ters of sympathy from all parts of that country, including many from persons who were not personally known to me.” Mr. Hammond says that his health has been fully restored by the sea voyage from Cape Town to London. GOVERNMENT RESERVATIONS, IMegal Occupations Pointed Out in Col. Wilson’s Report. Col. J. M. Wilson, in charge of public buildings and grounds, in his annual report to Gen. Craighill, chief of engineers, makes the following brief statement in regard to the alleged illegal occupation of govern- ment reservations in the District of Co- lumbia: “The time of the only draughtsman al- lowed this office is mainly taken up with the care of the old records of the city of Washington, and his services are required in his office the greater portion of each day, in order that he may exhibit them to those interested In the city property. He is fre- quently summoned to produce the records in court. “These old records and maps show in detail the various transactions of the Com- missioners in connection with the original laying out of the city of Washington, the construction of the United States public buldings and the sale of public lots be- tween the years 1791 and 1867. “The first Commissioners were appointed by President Washington on January 22, 1791, in conformity with the terms of the act of Congress approved July 16, 1790, and the duties with which they were charged were transferred by various acts of Con- gress to their successors in office, who were appointed from time to time by the Presi- dent of the United States, “By the act of Congress approved March 2, 1867, the office of commissioner of public buildings and grounds was abolished and the duties transferred to the chief of en- gineers, who thereby became the lawful successor of the original commissioner ap- pointed by President Washington in 1791 and the custodian of the original records. “As heretofore reported, Mr. John Stew- art, the earnest, faithful and intelligent gentleman who has had immediate charge of the old records for rearly a score of years, informs me that in his investiga- tions he can find no satisfactory evidence to show that the United States has ever received payment or granted deeds in fee for a number of squares and lots in differ- ent parts of the city of Washington. By my direction he has been engaged in pre- paring a tabulated statement, showing every lot originally belonging to the United States, as well as thoce which were sold by the general government between the years 1701 and 1867. “TI again invite attention to this important matter and urgently recommend that pro- e ‘Before and after. vantage over to you.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Several attempts made within recent years to organize a lantern parade of wheelmen have offered evidence to prove that it is almost impossible to make a night parade a success. The idea of a lantern parade is a pretty one, but in reality the spectacle 1s spoiled by the crowds of spec- tators, who take all the room and leave no chance for display. It seems to me that the crowd could be managed better in the day time, and there would be a better chance to see the costumes of riders. Why not have a general turnout of wheelmen by daylight, riding over a short route, which should include Pennsylvania avenue and the circle in the White Lot? IXION. ———— Great Heat Abroad. Intense heat prevails throughout the southern portion of Great Britain and in France and Germany. In London there has not been a breath of air stirring, and the mercury marked 80 degrees in the shade and 135 degrees in the sun. There were eleven hours of sunshine in London yester- day. In Paris the heat is so great that it has been found necessary to close many of the workshops. ———_+e-+ Wine Filter Exhibition.
